At Altamura, the wall is painted with copies of old photographs of Campo 65. This camp or center (approximately 5 km west of this location) began as a prisoner of war camp during the Second World War. In 1942 and 1943, Allied prisoners of war were held here. It was also a center for the training of Yugoslavs, who joined the partisans in 1944 in the liberation of Yugoslavia.

The partisans depicted on the murals are clearly members of the Mešan Peasant Choir in Gravina, which was founded in November 1943. Most of the members and members then left for their homeland with the 3rd Partisan Brigade.
